These Commie libs just don’t get it do they..for them the ONLY propaganda worth reporting is FAR LEFT COMMIE propaganda..anything else needs to be banned..they can’t stand having a President who FIGHTS back against their idiocy. They kissed Clinton’s ass from DAY ONE, gave her questions in advance, promoted her every second, BEGGED, PLEASED with EVERYONE to vote for her..maybe these douche bags don’t understand, but JOURNALISM isn’t about promoting their own agenda, its about reporting the FACTS not their damn opinion

And yet...

They have the total FREEDOM to sit around a table and discuss this on TV without fear of the secret police bursting into the studio and carting them off to the underground prison, where they will be tortured like Winston Smith till they LOVE President Trump.

Kind of belies their own premise.

Anything that dismantles the American liberal lying media, I’m all in support of.

It’s way, way, way past time.

Dear CNN,

The fact that you willingly engage in the kind of propaganda that supports the aims of totalitarian governments, whereas Tass in the old USSR had to be forced to promulgate that kind of propaganda, is proof that you have complete freedom to print whatever you want.

The flip side of that is that the President has every right (and obligation) to call you out on your propaganda. Many of us have been aware of the propagandistic tendencies of much of the media for decades. President Trump is the first president to call the media out for it.

If President Trump were to lead the charge against a free press the way you fantasize about, you’d be seeing your newsrooms raided, journalists thrown in prison, and puppets of the state installed to dutifully toe the government line and call it news. That’s what they did in the USSR. That’s what would happen to you if the kind of government you advocate with your unrelenting propaganda were ever to be installed. You probably don’t realize it, but we barely escaped that kind of government when we elected Trump and rejected Hillary.

Now I do understand that you dislike the criticism for being a biased purveyor of fake news (aka propaganda). But, honestly, you bring the criticism upon yourself. You have only to publish the unaltered news, without spin, and stop deciding whether stories are newsworthy based on whether they support a particular narrative or not. As an outsider looking in, it doesn’t look like a very difficult task. The only thing stopping you is pride.

Sincerely,

exDemMom

Fake news reminiscent of the most outlandish Moslem propaganda.

There’s not supposed to be ‘activism’ in journalism.

As long as I can remember, CNN has had the same news value as DC Comics.
